Pristine semi-detached bungalow in easily accessible, quiet village location

A short drive from the main route from Inverness and Nairn but on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Auldearn, 21 Montrose Avenue is an impeccably presented newer property that has been well maintained and cared for since its construction in 2008. Situated along a quiet lane away from the main village road and backing onto open fields, the property enjoys a peaceful location in a cluster of similar homes, creating a solid but small community of retired people and those who commute or work remotely. The bungalow is approached via a well-established, attractive front garden with lawn, paving, and shrubs. The joinery throughout the hallway is of light-coloured wood, giving a warm and welcoming feel that accentuates the predominately neutral colour scheme and acts as a foil for the pleasantly decorated rooms beyond.

The living room is papered in grey and has an elegant electric fireplace with a black surround and white cornice; these all lend the room a clean, modern feel that also looks comfortable. A large window overlooking the front garden spans the width of the room. With cabinets finished in elegant navy blue and maple-coloured worktops, the kitchen is modern with a feel of luxury. The wide U-shape arrangement creates a large amount of surface preparation area and offers substantial storage in the many wall and floor cabinets. This layout also allows for a generous table and chair arrangement. The blue cabinetry lends a country ambience, which is given a delightful contemporary spin with brushed stainless-steel fittings. White tiles and walls complete the space and ensure that most is made of the natural light from the south.

The principal bedroom is decorated with pretty, delicate pale blue paper on the feature wall. The view is to the front of the house and there is a large wood-fronted built-in wardrobe. A second bedroom overlooks the garden and is finished with a feature wall decorated in grey wallpaper with a tree motif. This room also has built-in storage. Both the rooms are carpeted and offer generous, well-proportioned spaces. Sitting between the two bedrooms is a comfortably sized bathroom. Finished in a dark and light palette, the bathroom is strikingly decorated. It is fitted with high-quality sanitary ware, including a WC, wash hand basin and a whirlpool bath with a shower over it.

The tidy garden is accessed from the kitchen and features raised borders below the timber fencing and a small summer house. A utility area leads to a low gate, which opens onto the drive and gives access to the garden shed. At 76 m2, this charming and well-cared-for property offers a beautiful, easy-to-manage home in a lovely and accessible setting. With its location in a quiet, idyllic village but only a short drive from major services and centres, 21 Montrose Avenue offers a fabulous home for retirees or small families alike.
